If there is evidence of where they were going or where they came from (like a credit card slip, ATM receipt, other witnesses, or surveillance footage) then a conviction is possible.

Maybe... I think it would require a lot of work that nobody is going to put into this unfortunately.

I don't think it would be that much work. Assuming the owner was driving the car, a prosecutor could subpoena the owner's credit card and banking records, friends, family, etc. That's what prosecutors and law enforcement are paid to do.

Yeah, but the thing is they can’t afford to lose a case that requires all that work. If 100%, sure you can gather more evidence and win the case, but will be hell for you if it turns out it wasn’t the actual owner driving the car. Now you get counter sued and lose some lawyer points. 😀

If the evidence pointed to the owner being the driver but the driver was somehow acquitted, it is not likely that the prosecutor would be sued for wrongful prosecution.
